Thank you for taking the time to learn more about how I can assist you. I have been in private practice since 2020 and have worked with preteens/teens, adults, and older adults in many different venues, including online, in-person and group settings. I have experience working with issues related to anxiety/depression, trauma, disability and LGBTQ2+. In conjunction with traditional talk-based psychotherapy with many clients, I integrate elements of mindfulness and meditation. I also practice from a psychedelically informed perspective and am open to incorporating holistic healing methods into treatment planning.

Several theories/perspectives inform my work with clients, including Internal Family Systems, Positive CBT, CBT – I (CBT for insomnia), Ego State Therapy, Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness/Meditation. Along with my clinical knowledge, I also have lived experience as a person with a disability (Cerebral Palsy), which also informs my practice.

My personal and professional experiences have allowed me to understand that mental health is not the absence of illness but the continuation of wellness. Further, what defines wellness is distinct for every person. If you are looking for a companion on your path to better mental health, I'm willing to join you on your journey.
